Definately worth a read. Basically Jones is flapping his jaws about a laser transmission record and how it renders NBN outdated. Abbot should read about it. Seems neither understand it.
The report is Labor's hard sell to show how the NBN can be used for far more than downloading movies and playing games.
It says high-speed and reliable broadband will change the way people do their job and sets a target to have 12 per cent of people tele-working by the end of the decade.
The Government believes the NBN will provide the confidence for workers and bosses to increase workplace flexibility. An increase in the number of people who spend half their week working from home would be worth between $1.4 billion and $1.9 billion a year and would cut peak hour traffic by 5 per cent, save 120 million litres of fuel and 320,000 tonnes of carbon.

And if this is so, why can't this happen now?
You got me? How will a shiny blue cable with blindingly fast upload/download make this any different? Not sure if Australia is ready for 12 percent of the workforce to stay at home and tap away at the keyboard?? Productivity for one would go down the toilet.

...Yes I can see a huge carbon reduction with everyone sitting at home on the computer doing everything....
It's going to be interesting to see how long it is before the government has to intervene to force people to take it up?
If they don't, it will interesting to see how long before there is a public outcry about the waste of money.
Gillard, Conroy and Windsor made a big deal out the NBN connection in Armidale today with just 7 connections out of about 2500 houses.
Would it not be reasonable to expect that the people of Armidale would have known about this for weeks ahead and Gillard can only get 7 connections on opening day and I believe some of those were on trial only.
If they had half a brain, their priority should have been in a more populas zone that would have brought them in some revenue or was it just to appease Windsor in order for Gillard to receive his continued support.

Does anyone have any upto date figures of how many more people have connected to the N.B.N in the Tassie pilot areas?
By now the locals should be generating a normal trend especialy with the publicity.
Im moving house again and have rented in a suburb 15 Km from Sydney CBD and my local exchange only has 3 providers with DSL2, Telstra, Iinet and TPG...Telstra is 100 bucks a month, IInet is full (DSLAM at capacity) so that leaves me with crappy and cheap TPGwith NBN this just wouldn't happen.
Any idiot that seriously thinks everything is great with internet in Australia...really has no freeking idea.
The Australian understands the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy is looking to recruit about a dozen "NBN champions" who would be conscripted to publicly spruik the benefits of the Gillard government's $36bn wholesale fibre network, if a yet-to-be-revealed communications strategy gets the green light.
Tim Flannery, who earns a salary of $180,000 for three days a week as the Prime Minister's chief climate change commissioner, is one of several high-profile names already identified by the department on an unpublished short-list of potential candidates.
There is nothing like the NBN operating in Australia, and the suggestion that it be rolled out in cities as a first step is ridiculous. The whole idea of testing outside cities is to ensure that the rollout is down-pat before moving into the heavily populated areas.
I see we have our NBN Champion back with us after his sabbatical at Camp Conroy.

In response to NBNMyths post about country installation prior to city due to "down pat" control mechanisms beggars belief !!!!!!!
Would it not be better to run through CBD first as well as outer lying suburbs (including schools) FIRST because then the "down pat" issues can be tested on a much broader spectrum of business's, homes, demographics, schools, people at a FRACTION of the cost ???????????????? Once proven that it is all tickety boo in shiny blue cable land THEN release it to the great unwashed masses in the country areas who can watch pr0n and play games faster.
